ICO and PNG: what changes
People convert ICO to PNG when a file made for favicons and Windows program icons has to be used for logos, screenshots and graphics with transparency.
ICO Windows icon
ICO is the icon format of Windows and of website favicons, the small picture in a browser tab. Icons are square and at most 256 pixels wide.
PNG Portable Network Graphics
PNG stores every pixel exactly, with no loss, and supports transparent backgrounds. Files are larger than JPG for photos but stay perfectly sharp for text, logos and screenshots.
Good to know before you convert
- Both formats store pixels without loss, so the picture looks exactly the same after converting.
- Transparent backgrounds are kept, because both ICO and PNG support them.
- An ICO file can hold several sizes of the same icon. Your browser decodes one of them, normally the largest.
Questions and answers
Is a transparent background kept?
Yes. Both formats support transparency.
Will the PNG look different from the ICO?
No. The conversion is lossless, so the picture is identical.
Can I convert several ICO files at once?
Yes. Add them together. One result downloads directly; several are packed into a ZIP.
